Capacitor

Block appearance in REPEAT VISION

 The Capacitor block implements the model of an ideal capacitor described by the following expression (1):

(1)\[I=C\cdot \frac{∆U}{∆t},\]

where C - capacitor capacity, [F].

 Direction from input port to output port is taken as positive direction of current in capacitor. The element voltage is defined as the potential difference between the input port and the output port, respectively.
